Upgrade SAP Workforce Performance Builder 9.3 to SAP Enable Now

[former_member820546]

Hi.

After reading SAP note 2490824 and upgrade guide, blogs, etc, its still unclear how is the process to migrate from WPB 9.3 to SEN 2022

I would like some clarification on how migration step should be done on Source Version (see below) and migrate that data into a new Installed SAP Enable Now

By exporting that Workarea is sufficient to export all Data?

SAP Note 2490824 mentions I should have Admin User:

1. Manager Installation User credentials and URL to Manager
2. Apache Tomcat Administative user login credentials

Which is URL to Manager? I couldnt find on any SAP Master guide which one is the URL

Also we dont have Admin User, but on SQL Server I was unable to find Admin user. How can I determine which one is Admin user to reset its password?

2788205 - How to reset SEN Manager super admin password has an script but it needs which admin user was created.

Thanks!

Hi Martin,

I don't believe that there is any need to 'move' the data or content because it will remain in the same SQL Server database and source files that are stored on Tomcat server. You must update the Tomcat application files - this is the Manager application - by importing the new WAR file and also install the new version of Producer on each authoring PC. When an author then opens Producer, it will recognize that Manager has been upgraded and upgrade the the local Workarea on the PC with any new content, e.g. new Resources.

Unfortunately, the URL or your WPB Manager and the ID and password of an admin account are only known by people in your organization. There is a sample URL provided in the upgrade documentation but key parts of that URL and the admin ID and password are defined during the initial setup so only those involved in the original setup of WPB and current Administrators will be able to provide this information.

Hi Martin,

There are detailed instructions for upgrading Enable Now in Enable Now Upgrade Guide. There are also detailed instructions available about the initial installation, which may provide some indication of the DB user name and possibly the password that was originally used. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what to do if you don't have passwords to the DB admin accounts, perhaps ask an SQL Server expert in your organisation.

Hi Shane

Indeed, I have reviewed SAP Enable Now Upgrade Guide, but sadly all SAP Guides are extremely confusing.

I have everything ready for an initial Installation with latest SAP Enable Now release, but after that System is installed, I'm still confused on how to move all content from SAP WPB 9.3 to SAP Enable Now.

DB User is Ok, since its SQL Server and with Windows Admin user, you can acess, but still need to figure out which one is the Admin user and Admin URL for WPB 9.3 and what steps execute on Source Server in order to move all content.

Thanks
